ElEction rEsults locally and nationally D onald Trump was the Repub- lic candidate for the President of the United States race. On No- vember eighth, Trump beat Hillary Clinton, the Democrat candidate, by fifty- one points and ef- fectively won the presidential race. He is set to take office on January twentieth, 2017. Students at Red Bluff High School have differ- ing opinions on the election results. Those against Trump are scared for the minorities in America, especial- ly with the addition of Steve Bannon, a known white suprem- acist, to his cabinet. Johanna Wiltse, ju- nior, explained , "I am not against Trump yet, but I'm scared. As of now, I'm not for him at all because of his policies and views of the LGBT and col- ored communities."
